Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York

Re: Judgements

You will have to first file a motion to vacate the default judgment and then file your answer to the complaint. The answer basically your defenses and reply to the allegations to the Complaint.

Feel free to contact me if you have further questions and require additional assistance on this matter.

Re: Judgements

If you did not receive notice of the law suit, you can vacate the judgment (get the judgment thrown out) if you file a motion (make a writen request) to the court that entered the judgment against you. If you go to the court you can speak with a clerk "pro se" (pronounced PRO SAY) who is there to help people without attorneys. The court usually vacates judgments IF YOU HAVE A DEFENSE and a GOOD EXCUSE. Not knowing that a law suit was filed against you is a good excuse...but you should know that if you attended school even for a week you may owe $$ if you stopped going and did not inform the school IN WRITING. That would have been your responsibilty...not theirs...
